Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. The plugin works with WooCommerce products.
Can guests compare products?
Yes, when you enable guest lists in the settings. The list is stored per browser and merged into the account on login.
Does Versus use jQuery?
No. The front end is plain JavaScript with no jQuery dependency.
Where does the compare button appear?
On shop listings and the product page, depending on your settings. The comparison opens on the Compare tab in My Account, or a dedicated URL for guests.
How many products can I compare?
The cap is configurable between 2 and 6 products. When the cap is exceeded, the oldest product drops off the list.
Does Versus pair with Shortlist and Swift?
Yes. Shortlist lets shoppers save products for later; Swift shortens the path to checkout. Versus lines up specs before the decision, all three are from wppoland.com and work independently.
Are the plugins open source and GPL-licensed?
Yes. Every plugin, free and PRO, is licensed under the GPL. You are free to use, modify and self-host the code on your own sites, and a PRO purchase does not restrict those GPL freedoms. A PRO licence adds automatic updates and product support, not different rights to the code.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. The free edition is a complete product on WordPress.org, not a time-limited trial, so you can run it indefinitely. It covers the core use case in full, and you upgrade to PRO only when your store needs the advanced features. There is no account or card required to use the free edition.
On how many sites can I use a PRO licence?
Each plan covers a set number of sites: a single site, five sites, or unlimited sites. The licence is tied to your account and determines how many sites receive automatic updates and support. If your store grows beyond your plan, you can upgrade to a larger site count at any time.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. PRO purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee unless a product page states otherwise. If the plugin is not the right fit, request a refund within 30 days through Freemius support or [email protected]. Refunds are returned to your original payment method.
Who handles payment, invoices and VAT?
Checkout is handled by Freemius, our Merchant of Record. Freemius processes the payment, applies the correct VAT for your country, issues the invoice, and manages renewals. If you have a valid EU VAT ID, you can enter it at checkout to apply the reverse-charge exemption.
Do subscriptions renew automatically?
PRO licences are annual and renew automatically while auto-renewal is enabled, so your updates and support continue without interruption. You can cancel future renewals at any time from your Freemius account before the renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges while your current term stays active until it ends.
What does support include, and how fast is it?
An active PRO licence includes email support for installation, configuration and defects in our own plugins, on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed response time. Support does not cover custom development, theme customisation, or conflicts caused by third-party plugins. For the free edition, community help is available through WordPress.org and GitHub.
Should I test the plugin before using it on a live store?
Yes. We recommend installing and fully testing any plugin on a local copy or a staging environment identical to production, with a current backup, before activating it on a live store. This lets you confirm compatibility with your theme and other plugins without risking your production site. Installing directly on production is at your own risk.
